We all have a choice in life. Sebastian and I made our choice—to be together.

The Shadow Lands became our sanctuary after everything we'd sacrificed. Our desire for one another only deepened as time passed. We'd broken Coven Laws, defied the human government, and put our families at risk to pursue our passion. The Courting Moon bonded us on that night, sealing our fate.

Nevertheless, our work is far from complete. With the Coven searching everywhere to find us it's only a matter of time before death befalls those we love. We are left with no other choice, but to finish what my father died trying to accomplish. To reestablish the Alliance Sanctuary, rebuild the Kingdom of Dragoius, and bring an end to the Coven of Vampyre's tyrannical rule.

The most powerful Vampyre in all the lands, Sebastian's father, the Count of Orias has vowed to stop at nothing until we are found, and our bond is broken. We're racing against time and it all hinges on discovering the Coven's one secret—

He stands therelooking upon her radiant beauty, unable to form words. She’s so luxurious tohim; he still can’t believe he’s found someone like her to love himunconditionally. She exits the shower, bright pink hair soaking wet. He becomesaroused yet fades into the background. He must fight off the temptation;otherwise, his plans will lie in ruins. He isn’t supposed to be here—not atthis moment.

For months hetried and failed to express the passion burning within him in the form ofwords, but those words never came to fruition. Like a sly snake, he went intotheir room and placed a note on the bed. Now, only now, is he able to tell herthe depths of his unending love for her.

Not just thesexual, but the emotional and spiritual as well—something no Vampyre or humancould ever understand in a world built on emotional suppression. He exits theroom just as she approaches. Slowly, he closes the door and goes back to fixingthe steps that caused them to tumble into the bunker where they now dwell.They’ve been trapped in the bunker for three days, and while everything theyneed is provided for them, they still would like to have an exit readilyavailable.

The door creaks.

“Sebastian, isthat you?” she calls out.

She looksaround, but seeing no one, she wraps one towel around her head and one over herbody before closing the shower doors. As glaring as the sun beyond the ShadowLands, the note is there when she nears the bed.

“I can’t believethis man,” she says with a bright smile. She tightens the towel around her bodyand sits on the bed, taking the note in her hands.

The words “FromMe to You” are written across the front. She unfolds the note carefully so asnot to tear any part of it. That’s when she notices the Courting Moon’s glow asit shimmers on her skin. A flush of emotion overcomes her heart. They are safefrom the Coven, from Daven, from the Council, from anyone looking to do themharm. Now is the time to enjoy each other, to learn more about the emotionsthey’re experiencing. She finishes unfolding the note and reads the delicatewords Sebastian has written for her.

Kyra, my love,my everything,

Space and timehave no validity when we are together. The nights I have stayed awake wonderinghow I could be blessed with such an angel are innumerable. You, Kyra, are myheart . . . if that’s what you wish to call it. Love itself is a word thatcouldn’t possibly hold bearing on what I feel for you. What we have is so muchmore than that—I can’t explain it. All I do know is the connection we have willlast longer than anything in this world. As bright as the moon shines in thenight, I will love you, never fail you, always be there for you, give my lifefor you, and live for you. Whatever this journey may bring, just know that I,Sebastian of Orias, am within you every moment until my immortality gives way.I love you, Kyra—always.

Holding her handto her face, she tries to keep tears from ruining the note.

She removes thetowel on her head and places the note on the nightstand near their bed. “Yes,it’s beautiful.”

Sebastian takesa single rose from the bouquet he’s holding and places the bud of it in herhair.

“No, Kyra,you’re beautiful.”

She takes thebouquet from him and breathes its scent in deeply, then sets the roses on thenightstand near the note. She embraced him in a time-stopping kiss. WithSebastian by her side, Kyra is left with a decision. And the fates of bothVampyre and humankind hang in the balance. The choice is hers and hers alone.
